We're on our fourth giveaway now, and the prizes are still here and ready to be won by a very lucky reader and fellow fangirl/boy!

Today's giveaway comes from the incredible owners of Magic Carrot Candles (their tagline even says 'nerdy customizable candles' and woo if THAT doesn't sound fun...you obviously don't like having little jars of wax and fire in your house.

Magic Carrot Candles really has a diverse shop, with both scents related to books, movies and youtubers alike.

Ashley: "I guess the first and foremost question is, are you a fangirl/boy yourself? Tell us a bit about yourself!"MCC: "Yeah so, the three of us are in a ton of fandoms, which is awesome for
product variety. Adi loves the Hunger Games, Indie is super into
Youtubers, and Ashley adores Harry Potter. But the one thing we all
agree on is John Green… We’re basically obsessed with his books, and
total nerdfighters."

Ashley: "How did you decide to combine your love and interest of your fandoms and your craft together? was there an ‘ah ha’ moment?"

MCC: "We were reading The Night Circus, which is this amazing book that’s
loaded with stunning imagery and beautiful descriptions. There was this
one part about Widget’s tent; a room packed with jars of scents that
capture a moment. That definitely inspired us to create candles that
tried to match feelings or places in books and movies, and it only made
sense to us that we opened it to our other fandoms too!"

Ashley: "Where else can our lovely readers find you to keep up with you and your shop?"

MCC: "Right now we have a Tumblr, which is probably
the most reliably updated source, and a Facebook
that desperately needs updating. We’re also going put up an Instagram
pretty soon… Just look up Magic Carrot Candles and we’ll probably be
there!"

Ashley: "Do you ever create a candle from a show or book that you love and think,
‘oh I’m keeping this one’? (I ask as a former shop owner who suffered
from this waaay to many times!)"

MCC: "Oh all the time! Especially with our Tyler Oakley , Looking for Alaska,
and Night Circus candles. It’s so hard letting them go, but because all
of our candles are hand poured and made to order, we sometimes end up
with a little extra wax which we make into tea lights. This is awesome
because we get samples of all of our favorite candles, and we get new
ones all the time!"

Ashley: "What show/book/movie are you super into right now?"

MCC: "Right now we’re getting back into The Hunger Games; we’re super excited about the last movie coming out and making our Hunger Games candle set
got us even more hyped! And of course, how can you not love Harry
Potter? We have some special Harry Potter candles that we’ll be
releasing in December, just in time for the holidays!"

Ashley: "Can you tell us about the product that you are (so very very sweetly, may I add) sponsoring for this giveaway?" MCC: "So the product we’re sponsoring for this giveaway is a completely
customizable candle! We’ll work with the winner to match the perfect
scent to whatever item, person, place, thing, etc. from whatever fandom
they want! In addition, we will also design a custom label for the
candle! We’re also providing another prize for a second winner, a set
of 6 assorted tealights of the candles from our shop, which the winner
will of course, be able to pick out themselves!"

Come on, this sounds great, doesn't it?

The moment I'm sure you've been holding on to your petticoats for....the merry merry giveaway of wax and flame!
